  1. I have a little parlor guitar that I’m just leaving on this tuning. I’m a little lost on how to know which finger to pick with on the scale. Are we following one of the patterns from day one, or is this it’s own pattern?

  2. This one wasn’t too fun Tony! I’ve got a problem. I’m having a lot of trouble remembering the previous lessons. Any advise? I’m reaching out.

    1. I have that problem as well. What I’ve been doing is just do a short review each day of the previous day’s lessons…nothing perfect but enough to re familiarize myself. Then hopefully by day 5 it comes back a little.

  3. Hit that with your thumb? Nope, I’ll copy what you did… use my ring finger on the 7th fret of the D string… I think that’s what you meant. 🙂

  4. Very pretty, but not intuitive for me at all. Tony was right, at least for me, the descending scale was easier than the ascending. Also loved the single string scale…that was great.

  5. A bit confusing, but it does help with understanding that scales don’t have to be linear. Bottom line of the tabs was more straight forward for me.

  6. Interesting I liked the scale but I couldn’t get into a groove in the improv I’ll try it again tomorrow after it sinks in

  7. Fun stuff! Tried to make this happen on my banjo…close bit no cigar! I think I need to bring that bad boy in for a set-up , not real stable tuning wise it seems
